With the introduction of a full catalogue of purchasable magic items in Heirs of the Dragon, gold pieces have become more important. In an effort to ensure that quests that award gold to members upon completion continue to be valuable over the course of the year, we are happy to announce that gold rewards will scale based upon the current guild level (defined as the average level of active members). This means that, as we progress as a group, so too will monetary rewards, at a rate of 8.5% per level. As an example, the Raid! achievement worth 200 GP at the beginning of the year (guild level 1), will be worth 217 GP at guild level 2 (200 * 1.085), 235 at guild level 3 (200 * 1.085) * 1.085, 254 at guild level 4 ((200 * 1.085) * 1.085) * 1.085) and so on (subject to rounding differences).

In the same vein, the Join Us achievement — one created to help newly joined members catch up in terms of items — will scale up over time, starting at 500 GP in July and maxxing out at 7,500 GP in the month of May.
